Appellate Advocacy College 2000

These materials were prepared in April 2000 for use in the Appellate Advocacy College presented May 15-26, 2000, by the Judicial Council’s Appellate Indigent Defense Oversight Advisory Committee and the California Appellate Projects. The views expressed are those of the individual authors and not necessarily those of the Judicial Council or the Administrative Office of the Courts. The subsequent history of all cases discussed in these materials should be checked before relying on a case.
